Posted this in vaccinations but no one responded anyone else debating the whooping cough vaccination?
I'm 32 weeks pregnant and due the whooping cough vaccine. Two years ago I had reprevax while pregnant with ds after lots of research and getting comfortable with the vaccine.
This time I don't seem to be able to do the same with boostrix. It seems the government brought it in for cost purposes and there seems to little or no research on it
I understand they still stock repevax for toddlers. Has anyone had any luck asking to have it instead of boostrix?
Does anyone think it's worth paying privately for?
I've spent hours researching this and hit a wall. I've decided I want to be vaccinated as whooping cough is still around where I live however, can't stop feeling that anecdotally me and ds were fine with reprevax 2 years ago so I want the same again..
Anyone's thoughts on this gratefully received
